Book excerpt: I set out on the path of writing to work through all the stuff that floats around my thick skull, and that's mostly what this book is about. It was only through the encouragement of others, that it was actually formed into a book and has been brought to you. In everything I write there is an intent to move the reader one way or the other. All of my work that could not accomplish this was left on the hard drive of my computer and will stay there. Through my words and their meanings, I want you to think and feel something, good or bad it does not matter as long as it takes you somewhere. I hope that reading this book can open your mind to new thoughts and new ideas and give you something to carry through your day.Thank you, B.D. Smith
Download or read book Dazzle Ships written by Chris Barton and published by Millbrook Press TM. This book was released on 2022-08-01 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Audisee® eBooks with Audio combine professional narration and sentence highlighting for an engaging read aloud experience! A visually stunning look at innovative and eye-popping measures used to protect ships during World War I. During World War I, British and American ships were painted with bold colors and crazy patterns from bow to stern. Why would anyone put such eye-catching designs on ships? Desperate to protect ships from German torpedo attacks, British lieutenant-commander Norman Wilkinson proposed what became known as dazzle. These stunning patterns and colors were meant to confuse the enemy about a ship's speed and direction. By the end of the war, more than four thousand ships had been painted with these mesmerizing designs. Author Chris Barton and illustrator Victo Ngai vividly bring to life this little-known story of how the unlikely and the improbable became just plain dazzling. "[A] conversational, compelling, and visually arresting story . . ."—starred, Publishers Weekly "Barton's lively text is matched by Ngai's engrossing artwork, which employs dazzle techniques throughout her inventive spreads."—The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books New York Public Library Best Books for Kids Children's Book Committee at Bank Street College Best Children's Book of the Year

Book Synopsis Confusion de Confusiones [1688] by : José de la Vega
Download or read book Confusion de Confusiones [1688] written by José de la Vega and published by Colchis Books. This book was released on 1957 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first that describes the practices of any stock exchange; it makes evident a high development of practices, with puts, calls, pools, and manipulations; and it appeared as early as the seventeenth century. Not inappropriately the stock exchange described is that of Amsterdam, a city which at the date of the volume’s publication —1688 — was still the leading financial center of the world. The book, to be sure, is hardly a systematic account of the institution; the author pursued moral, philosophical, and rhetorical objectives, and, while saying a lot that seems now to be of little value, manages somehow to leave unsaid a great deal that would be of interest for us. Nevertheless, it represents, even in its peculiar form, a really important source of information about the stock exchange, and indeed about the Dutch business world of that period.

Book excerpt: In the year 1689, a cabal of Barbary galley slaves -- including one Jack Shaftoe, aka King of the Vagabonds, aka Half-Cocked Jack -- devises a daring plan to win freedom and fortune. A great adventure ensues -- a perilous race for an enormous prize of silver ... nay, gold ... nay, legendary gold. In Europe, the exquisite and resourceful Eliza, Countess de la Zeur, is stripped of her immense personal fortune by France's most dashing privateer. Penniless and at risk from those who desire either her or her head (or both), she is caught up in a web of international intrigue, even as she desperately seeks the return of her most precious possession. Meanwhile, Newton and Leibniz continue to propound their grand theories as their infamous rivalry intensifies, stubborn alchemy does battle with the natural sciences, dastardly plots are set in motion ... and Daniel Waterhouse seeks passage to the Massachusetts colony in hopes of escaping the madness into which his world has descended. This P.S. edition features an extra 16 pages of insights into the book, including author interviews, recommended reading, and more.
Book Synopsis The Confusion between Art and Design by : Tsion Avital
Download or read book The Confusion between Art and Design written by Tsion Avital and published by Vernon Press. This book was released on 2020-10-06 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past century the borders have blurred between art and design. Designers, artists, aestheticians, curators, art and design critics, historians and students all seem confused about these borders. Figurative painting was reduced to graphic design while still being called 'art'. Figurative sculpture was reduced to nonfunctional industrial design while being called 'sculpture'. This fundamental blunder resulted from total misunderstanding of the concept of "abstraction" by the founders of modern art. Comprehensive analysis shows that so-called "abstract art" is neither abstract nor art, but a very simple, even trivial, kind of design. In this book the prehistoric, philosophical, logical, historic and religious sources of the confusion between art and design are analyzed. A new and coherent conceptual framework is proposed, to distinguish between art and design. Nearly one hundred distinctions, contradistinctions and comparisons between art and design are presented, showing clearly that they are totally independent domains. Philosophy of art books are written by philosophers for philosophers, not for artists and designers; therefore they are irrelevant for the latter, especially for students who normally lack the necessary conceptual training. This book is not only for theoreticians but for art and design practitioners at all levels. This is a new kind of book: an illustrated philosophical book for the art and design world, which can make philosophical knowledge accessible and useful for solving real problems for designers and artists who are mostly visual rather than conceptual thinkers. The book contains over two hundred images; thus art and design people can easily follow the arguments and reasoning presented in this book in their own language; images. Lack of distinction between art and design harms both. Design is contaminated by the ills of modern art, while modern art cannot recover from its current stagnation whilst under the illusion that it is actually art rather than design.

Book Synopsis Holding the Center by : Richard Strozzi-Heckler
Download or read book Holding the Center written by Richard Strozzi-Heckler and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2011-06-21 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As in all his books, Heckler draws from personal experience: training his horse, cultivating presence in aikido dojos, consulting with business executives, raising children. A masterful and encompassing book, Holding the Center develops from the fulcrum of the self in the natural world. Many of Heckler’s lessons arise from his life as a householder and father. Community is a larger family—we make alliances to “take care of what matters to us.” But, as Heckler teaches, that takes listening to others with an open heart, and learning what the needs of others are.The world can be a sanctuary, if we find a balance between instinct and choice. Richard Strozzi Heckler sounds an important call about the interplay between power and generosity in these subtle and luminous essays.

Download or read book First Doubt written by Joshua Chuang and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many photographers have been intrigued with the baffling distortions--both subtle and disquieting--that can occur when the camera "captures" the real world. Not always intentional, some images dazzle with impossible juxtapositions or disorienting spatial orders, while others confound the viewer's belief in the documentary promise of photography. Drawn from the highly respected collection of Allan Chasanoff, the photographs in this intriguing volume confront viewers with the challenge of doubt and confusion in so-called "straight" pictures. Featured are perceptually provocative images by Manuel Alvarez Bravo, Clarence John Laughlin, Imogen Cunningham, and Lee Friedlander, among others. The book's essays raise awareness of the interpretive nature of the lens and the interpolative nature of the medium.

Book Synopsis Web of Confusion by : William J. King, Jr.
Download or read book Web of Confusion written by William J. King, Jr. and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-06-16 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first of it's kind. A hip hop text book chronicling the struggles of a group of young adults trying to make it in the music industry as they go back and forth between the temptation of the criminal element and the reality of following the rules. In today's world, the road to success has a few more vehicles on it than it did fifty or sixty years ago. Not only do you need to own these vehicles, you need to use them properly and know how to fix them when they malfunction. That brand new, shiny, fresh off the assembly line, fully equipped, High School diploma is not going to take you but so far down the road, even if you add a few extras, like a college degree or a friend in the business. True, there is still a significant need for that formal education, but in order to safely and meaningfully arrive at your final destination in life you need to have a "Masters" in common sense and a "PHD" in street knowledge. The book "Web of Confusion" breaks this down and simplifies it in a way that cannot be misunderstood by the youths of our society or their parents and educators. Not only does it give an inside look at "the game" it refocuses on the rules. The lyrics are raw, riveting and sometimes downright rude, but at the same time soaked with the truth. A unique harmony of old school and new school rhyming that will surely have a bit of appeal for everyone. The quiz hits the reader in the gut where it will most definitely leave an after taste, as well as in the head where is has a surprisingly stunning effect. The story delivers several messages which deal with what many consider to be the reasons for the collapse of our present day society The book purposely written with an abundance of bad pronunciation, many cleverly placed misspelled words and enough unorthodox punctuation to make this an easy read for any student no matter what his reading skills or grade level may be, while at the same time challenging those reading capabilities of the student as well as the teaching skills of the educator. The author takes into consideration that, for the ordinary student, contrary to popular belief, perfection is intimidation that often leads to a turn off. At the same time he gives proper respect to the art of "readin", "ritein" and "rithymatic For those of you who have been raised with paper thin skin, have a fear of real world discussion, or truly believe that the average teenager is interested in how J D Salinger .relates to their everyday lives. I would suggest you buy a copy of "Fifty Shades Of Gray" or re-read "Moby Dick", books which I consider to be much better written, more popular and forever destined to be classic best sellers. For the young adult, parent or educator who is satisfied with the direction that our culture is heading in or not satisfied but afraid of certain risk that question or challenge the status quo, I would not touch this book with a ten foot pole. For everyone else on the planet I recommend that you read the book, check out the lyrics and take the quiz, you won't be disappointed.

Book Synopsis Leonardo on Art and the Artist by : Leonardo (da Vinci)
Download or read book Leonardo on Art and the Artist written by Leonardo (da Vinci) and published by Courier Corporation. This book was released on 2002-01-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a complete picture of the techniques and working philosophy of one of the greatest artistic geniuses of the Renaissance. Assembled by a brilliant scholar from Leonardo's own writings--Notebooks and The Treatise on Painting--as well as his artistic production, the book offers a carefully balanced view of the artistÕs intellectual growth. Drawing on all the relevant writings, and rectifying many errors made by previous scholars, this work differs from earlier studies in its systematic grouping of the passages of Leonardo's writings concerning painting. In organizing the materials, the editor focuses on problems of interpretation; the result is the direct opposite of a simple anthology, offering instead a reconstruction of the underlying meaning of Leonardo's words. For each section, noted French art scholar André Chastel has provided an informative introduction and notes, and substantial bibliographic and reference materials for the book as a whole. More than 125 painstakingly reproduced illustrations are found throughout the text, further enhancing this rich and accessible resourceÑsure to be welcomed by scholars, lay readers, and any admirer of the incomparable Leonardo.

Book Synopsis The Average Consumer in Confusion-based Disputes in European Trademark Law and Similar Fictions by : Rasmus Dalgaard Laustsen
Download or read book The Average Consumer in Confusion-based Disputes in European Trademark Law and Similar Fictions written by Rasmus Dalgaard Laustsen and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-06 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contends that, with regard to the likelihood of confusion standard, European trademark law applies the average consumer incoherently and inconsistently. To test this proposal, it presents an analysis of the horizontal and vertical level of harmonization of the average consumer. The horizontal part focuses on similar fictions in areas of law adjacent to European trademark law (and in economics), and the average consumer in unfair competition law. The vertical part focuses on European trademark law, represented mainly by EU trademark law, and the trademark laws of the UK, Sweden, Denmark and Norway. The book provides readers with a better understanding of key aspects of European trademark law (the average consumer applied as part of the likelihood of confusion standard) and combines relevant law and practices with theoretical content and other related areas of law (and economics). Accordingly, it is an asset for policymakers and practitioners, as well as general readers with an interest in intellectual property law and theory.
